He's like a Ninja with that camera of his.

Hmm, reminds me of a daily victim I read a while back.

And some of us may not even go to Gencon. Besides we've got what, a good 20 hours a day if we go by last year's gathering activities.

Kwyn: don't bother.... Adam will handle it all. He's like a Ninja with that camera of his. You'll be doing something stupid and Adam will just materilize out of no where and take a picture, then vanish again to the shadows.

Alright Adam, let's see your union card!

If we really want to sever friendships and ruin lives, Caz and I can bring the eight sets of "old" Illuminati we've got.

And yeah, anyone who has Talisman, please PLEASE bring it. I fuckin' LOVE that game, but I can never find it (of course).

Also, Caz and I will bring Apples to Apples (nice party game), and Blink and Set if I can find my two... sets of it. And all of his goofy Zombie games, like Give me the Brain, and a few other Cheapass games. It'll all be good.

Oh, do I have to remind anyone? If you bring a game, put your name on it somewhere!

Do not play Scruples.

DV8 · Post by **DV8** » Tue Apr 09, 2002 6:39 am

Now you're going to have to elaborate, Sal.

Salvation122 · Post by **Salvation122** » Thu Apr 11, 2002 2:29 am

Hmmm... how to explain Scruples...

Okay. You've got cards with a moral dillema and two possible options on them. One team asks a question and the choices, and usually picks a particular player on the other team to choose a solution. The player either picks the one he's really do, or lies and picks the other. The asking-team then guesses whether the player is telling the truth or lying. Guessing correctly scores you a point.

There is no such thing as a friendly game of Scruples. I have yet to see one that does not involve people yelling at each other or not speaking for periods of time. I had a friend who lost a girlfriend over a game of Scruples. It never, ever ends on a positive note, and I'd rather not see that kind of bullshit happen to the people on this board.

(That said, I've never seen it played by a bunch of drunks.)

Caz: for some reason, I can bear you watching it. :o)

Sal: my family used to play Scruples quite often and they loved it. I don't think they would've if it caused them to get into fights each and every time. We should try it.

Thorn · Post by **Thorn** » Sat Apr 13, 2002 1:48 am

I'm sure we could handle Scruples. After all, the point of the game (in part) is to get people to talk about all these Big Bad Issues. Which is interesting and all because in a lot of groups of friends and especially in families, these are exactly the kinds of things people /avoid/ talking about. I sure as heck wouldn't want to discuss... hmm... just about any issue with anyone in my family. It'd get ugly in about four seconds. But with this group? Shit, some days all we DO is talk Issues. I bet it'd be the boringest game of Scruples ever played.

Sure Evan, sure, the whole gaming world is just itching to play your game.

Sorry to go off-topic again, but I've seen the prelims of Evan's game, and it actually shows a great deal of promise. I can't say more what with NDAs and such, but I second Evan's sentiment of "don't hate Savage Realm just because you hate Evan".

That's a compelling and fascinating thing to say. Is there any particular reason you feel that way? I find myself swimming in curiousity, and it tickles.

" What the fuck does it mean? "

In a good way though.

Not infrequently what you say seems clear cut, yet is open to interpretation in several ways that all make sense in the context. (someone else's) Insight can be like that, I think. FB nailed part of it.

Thorn · Post by **Thorn** » Sun Apr 14, 2002 8:42 am

Thank you, 32. I'd wanted to present just such an example, but could only recall one /actual/ Scruples question which did indeed result in an hour-long near-shouting match with someone who never was a friend anyway, and didn't want to mess with it.

But yes, that's exactly how I see it going.

Bring the game...It sounds like fun. On an aside note, when I had the oral interview for the San Jose PD, that was similar to one of the questions.

"You and your Sgt. stop off at a Starbucks on your break and get coffee. You notice that your Sgt gets back $10 too much in change. What do you do?"

Jestyr · Post by **Jestyr** » Mon Apr 15, 2002 9:29 am

That's a horror of a question. Ugh. Is there a 'correct' answer, as far as the SJPD is concerned?

And yeah, I'm up for Scruples too. It sounds like fun. Hell, it sounds exactly like a regular day on SST anyway.

Cash · Post by **Cash** » Mon Apr 15, 2002 9:39 am

It was a hum-dinger and I don't know what "the correct answer" was or if there was one.

There were a few good questions. The other one that I remember was "You pull over a person for speeding. He accuses you of pulling him over because he was black and that he wasn't doing anything wrong. How do you handle the situation and what do you do?"

Shoot anyone with a camera. Then drag him out of his car and beat the living Shit out of him for questioning his betters. Then, later that night, get the old hood and cloak out of the closet and take a lynch mob to his house and hang him for back talking to a good white man!! YEAH!!

I have found two new games, and we will play them at the Gathering.

Fluxx

Its organized chaos, the goal to win is always changing, as well as the rules and you hand, and any number of things. And they sell blank decks for me to be making a more Bulldrek-ish selection of cards.

Pit

Its Spoons on crack. Each commodity has 9 cards, and you put in one commodity per player (Sugar, barley, corn, oranges). When everyone's ready you start yelling for trades, 1-4 cards of the same commodity, and everyone trades until someone has all nine cards of a commodity and rings the bell. Its hilarous. "2!, 2!, 3!, 1!, different 2!"

The Mighty Buddha · Post by **The Mighty Buddha** » Mon Apr 15, 2002 3:20 pm

Fluxx is the shit, my friend pauls dad brought a deck back from origins like 5 years ago or some shit. We spent all night taking bong hits and playing, uber funage.

Instant Cash · Post by **Instant Cash** » Tue Apr 16, 2002 2:04 am

Damn, even these games seem like to much thinking for me while I am in vacation mode.

MooCow · Post by **MooCow** » Tue Apr 16, 2002 10:59 am

PIT!! God I haven't played that in years! It is a funny game. And I'm thinking there have got to be some cool drinking rules for it....

Fluxx requires a little thought, but hey, I mean I can make cards with object like the Black Van and the OCBP, its cool. Pit requires almost no thought whatsoever, just a lot of yelling, some frantic card grabbing, and being fast.

MooCow · Post by **MooCow** » Tue Apr 16, 2002 11:56 pm

Pit requires almost no thought whatsoever, just a lot of yelling, some frantic card grabbing, and being fast.

Which is why we need to make a drinking game out of it. Anything that involves grabbing and yelling can only be improved by alcohol.

Right, I have to sooooo get Outburst (see here for those heathens who don't know what Outburst is). One of the questions in it is "What body parts come in pairs?"

Another game that might be fun is pictionary. Imagine what a bunch of drunken drekkers would come up with in that game. ;

And for those of us who like cook/bake, what about going on a baking spree?

Thorn · Post by **Thorn** » Sun May 05, 2002 1:50 am

And for those of us who like cook/bake, what about going on a baking spree?

I've thought about that too. I'm not sure how feasible it would be, or if we'd wind up just bringing a bunch of ingredients we never got around to doing anything with, but... could be fun. I mean, let's face it, "Gee, it's 3 a.m. and I'm hungry. Let's make cookies!" Not a damn thing wrong with that. (And I'm sure one fellow Bulldrekkers wouldn't /dream/ of complaining if someone decided to start baking up a storm.)

FlameBlade · Post by **FlameBlade** » Sun May 05, 2002 4:41 am

If you guys /DO/ bake cookies, can you guys send some to me?

Rock. Of course, as I say, they don't rent speedboats. However, that doesn't stop us from...obtaining one. Or riding around on the over-powered pontoon boat with about 10 litres of LIIT.
